Fifth Make for Christmas - Christmas Card Baubles

As I have mentioned before, I am a bit of a tinsel-phobe. I am just not keen on the stuff, especially not on my Christmas tree. I like lights and baubles, and little toys and figures and stars and really anything that can hang. I try to accumulate a few new ones every year and treasure the ones made by the Smalls at school. I also am a fan of a garland. Who doesn't like a garland? We don't really have any Christmas garlands in our stash so I thought why not make a bauble garland? You can of course keep the baubles separate to adorn your tree.

Hello

My name is Eleanor. I am a full time Mum of three delightful, lively, annoying, naughty, lovely Smalls. They are Tall Girl (8), Tiny Boy (6) and Big Trouble (4). We all live together with my lovely husband John in a slightly delapidated Victorian house in a market town in North Northumberland. We have just returned to England after a two year tropical adventure, living on St Helena - a tiny island in the middle of the South Atlantic. I love knitting, crochet, sewing, gardening, baking and have as-yet unfulfilled creative ambitions in the direction of less practical or portable activities... I hope you enjoy my thoughts and ramblings about all these things.
